michelle obama speaking tonight. ann romney spoke last week and seem to have a clear mission to win over women and help humanize her husband. does michelle obama have a mission that's clear cut, do you think? >> reporter: it's different. it's very different. what ann romney had to do was fill in some of the blanks for mitt romney and soften some of those edges that people have seen and make him more likable. everyone knows president obama at this point. michelle obama, the first lady, i don't know that she'll spend so much time on that. she's going to harp on the middle class and talk a lot about the middle class. that's the theme the democrats tell us they will talk about more than any other here. she's also tell some personal stories about his resolve and his firmness in office and talk about his strength as a leader. we're told she will not mention mitt romney. i don't expect it to been overtly political speech. maybe not as much to do as ann romney had to do but i think she's wildly popular. michelle obama more p

obama from eight years ago and the bill clinton from the night before and michelle obama. we heard some very good speeches at that convention, and barack obama's was not the best speech, but it was a good enough speech. >> and maria, talk about a little bit about how he talked that you are the change. you are the ones who changed everything. he put it back on people. was that effective that point? >> i do, suzanne, and i think that it was effective, because it had not been something that we have heard from him before and i agree with ana in that there is no way to compare the speech last night to the one he either did in 2004 or 2008. 2008 was lightning in a bottle, and they know that they could not have tried to recreate that, and what he tried to do was pragmatic and poetic poetry, and he was pragmatic, because he asked people to take ownership with him of the hope and change and in doing that, he sort of was kennediesque saying, we are in this together, and it is not that we should not ask how to do it alone, but how we can do it together. it was a change on the famous
